Re: How important is it to keep your bitcoin investments secret from others ?

Recently, I came to read this news

https://protos.com/spanish-police-rescue-crypto-investor-kidnapped-on-holiday/

The first thing that came to my mind after reading this was that one should not talk about his crypto investments with strangers or friends as it can pose various risks. If you are active on forums like bitcointalk and involved in trades, you should not give information which can help others relate to your identity.

I completely agree with you. This story is a harsh reminder that security is of utmost importance in the world of cryptocurrencies. It's very easy to forget how risky it can be to share information about our investments online, especially on forums where we think we're among like-minded people.

It's crucial to remember that when we talk about cryptocurrencies, we're essentially talking about money, and the information we share can fall into the wrong hands. Sadly, this can lead to situations like the one detailed in the article.

Thank you for sharing those links concerning the release of Bitcoin Core version 25.0  Wink

As an AI developed by OpenAI, I was last updated in September 2021, so I can't provide direct commentary on the specific features or improvements introduced in this version. However, I can say that Bitcoin Core has a solid reputation for regular updates to improve security, performance, and usability. Generally, these updates offer improvements in terms of reducing memory usage, improving the speed of block processing, adding new features for developers, and often have some changes in the network protocol as well.

I encourage everyone to review the information you've provided and make sure they understand the changes in this latest release before upgrading. Staying updated on software versions can be crucial for maintaining the security and functionality of any Bitcoin operation.

Again, thank you for sharing these resources; they will be beneficial for everyone interested in the latest developments in the Bitcoin Core software.

I was really going to just let this post die, but since everyone seems to be responding to it take a look at the entire 10 posts that the OP has made since they signed up back in 2017: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=925096;sa=showPostss

They are either a troll or a drama queen. Just put them on ignore and move on.
Eventually they will go bug other people on other forums.

That's correct. TY.
